Re: water breaking
Having had 5 babies now, I know that when I feel that pop, it is a sign that my waters have started to break. I also know that for me, it is only a matter of minutes before there is a new arrival! lol.
The pop you felt can be one of 2 things. It could be the membrane holding the waters snapping through the cervix and rupturing, or it could be the cervix snapping back when you are fully dilated.
If the fluid is clear, then that's fine. If the fluid is green/black or red then you need to get to the hospital because there could be a problem.
Labour can take hours, days even, even if the waters have broken. I hope all goes well for you, and maybe you are going to have a christmas baby.
